A similar attack was committed against a black female Trump supporter a few days ago. The perpetrators said she "didn't know what it was like to be black."


It really is getting crazy out there:

I will be so happy when President Trump is gone and we can stop hating each other so much. This just didn't happen with other Presidents.

Given how many Trump voters openly hate liberals, I would think a few mutual feelings are to be expected. They certainly aren't in a position to cast stones, though I doubt that will stop them from lobbing away.

How many? And how exactly is the term liberal being defined in your analysis?

Absolutely agree. As a person of color, I'll concede that Trump didn't invent racism, but he has made it far more acceptable to be expressed in the open. Hence the incident in question, while inexcusable, is not a surprise.

I don't read anything in the article that mentions race.

Not the article...but the OP compared this to a similar incident in which race was apparently germane.

I don't think open racism is more acceptable now than in the past. Tragic police killings have always happened:

2011-11-19 Chamberlain Sr., Kenneth New York (White Plains) Shot in his home by police responding to an automated medical alert.[24]


2011-10-27 Williams, Elliott Earl Oklahoma (Tulsa) Williams died in Tulsa County Jail, OK. He died from "complications of vertebrospinal injuries due to blunt force trauma" and dehydration following several days of neglect by prison authorities.[33]

Pretty much anything racist that happened in 2020 you could find in any other year and probably way more the further back you go.

I think there was already a lot of unrest and Trump definitely feeds into it both because he's a drama queen and because he thinks that stirring up unrest is his best shot of reelection if people are too scared of some 'woke mob' and think voting for him is the only way to stop it.

Hate is a strong word. I could never must up hate for someone like you. No I save my hate for the man who drove us to this point.
